Fuller fills Gloucestershire role

Gloucestershire have signed Otago seamer James Fuller on a three-year contract.

The 20-year-old bowler has played for New Zealand Under-19s but comes to Gloucestershire as a British passport holder.

Gloucestershire director of cricket John Bracewell said: “It is great news to have signed James as he has enormous potential as a pace bowler and ball striker.

“He is a genuine athlete who has chosen cricket as his profession and Gloucestershire will reap the benefit.”

Fuller said: "The opportunity of playing cricket for Gloucestershire under John Bracewell, on so many famous grounds, and amongst such great players is truly the chance of a lifetime.

"I am extremely grateful to Gloucestershire for having faith in me, and look forward to repaying that through my pace bowling and all-round ability."
